Wine Advocate 91 points (Apr 2010)Thanks to a crop greatly reduced in quantity by hail, but foliage largely intact, Bott’s 2007 Pinot Gris Sonnenglanz reached 14% alcohol with 40 grams of residual to spare, despite having been picked much earlier than normal. Peach, candied orange rind, and brown spices on the nose carry onto an opulent, glossy palate on which the wine’s strong acidity and extract are evident in the degree to which the residual sugar is buffered-out. Here is a terrific combination of richness and energy, and a wine that should continue to impress for at least 12-15 years.
